Functional Outcomes Following Combined Zacharin’s Pelvic floor Repair and Rectopexy for Pelvic Prolapse Research Article
Abstract Background: Recurrent or large pelvic prolepses are difficult problems. Satisfactory anatomical correction while preserving function and minimizing further recurrence remains a challenge. This study assessed the functional outcome and patient satisfaction following combined Zacharin’s procedure (mesh sacrocolpopexy, levatorplasty) and Rectopexy for large and recurrent apical and posterior compartment prolapse. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent Zacharin’s procedure and Rectopexy were recruited. Medical records were reviewed. Quality of life (QOL) and functional outcome were assessed using P-QOL and PAC SYM questionnaires.
Result: Fifty eight patients had surgery, with a mean age of 64 (46-79). Mean follow up was 3.8 years. Overall, 84% of patients were satisfied with the outcome of their surgery. There were 4(7%) recurrent prolepses. Urinary and bowel symptoms improved significantly post surgery (p
